    Study Notes

    Probability and Conditional Probability

    • Variable B represents an event in probability theory.
    • The probability of event A occurring is a measure of the likelihood of event A happening.
    • The probability of event B occurring is a measure of the likelihood of event B happening.
    • The conditional probability P(A|B) is the probability of event A occurring given that event B has already occurred.

    Bayes Theorem

    • Bayes theorem relies on conditional probability and is used to update the probability of an event based on new information.
    • The formula for the probability of event A given event B has already occurred is P(A|B) = P(B|A) * P(A) / P(B).
    • The probability of event A and event B happening together is represented by P(A ∩ B) = P(A|B) * P(B) = P(B|A) * P(A).
    • In a Venn diagram, the blue shaded area typically represents the probability of event A occurring (P(A)).
    • The red shaded area typically represents the probability of event B occurring (P(B)).
    • The formula for event B given event A has already occurred is P(B|A) = P(A|B) * P(B) / P(A).
